I'm new to Mac and IPad. I have Comcast mail on Mac and it works great my girlfriend has Yahoo email but is considering ICloud email when she sets up the iPad. Without technical jargon... In iCloud email a wise change? Thank you.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
That's really a question for you to answer yourself, changing an email address may not be the best of ideas if it's well known to others. On the other hand iCloud mail is an IMAP account (it syncs between devices) which may be an advantage if your current address is just a POP account.
I use my iCloud address for secondary mail in conjunction with my main address.

Mac os x Lion version 10.7.2 installed Gutenprint for my Epson Stylus Photo 1390. Every time I try to print I get the following error message: cgpdftoraster unsupported colorSpace. Any advice would be helpful thanks.

I don't think Lion installed it, rather you did. That said System Preferences>Print & Scan. select your Epson printer and then select Options & Supplies>Driver>Print Using>Select print Software. Then scroll down to the driver you want to use.

Documents uploaded to icloud disappear when I turn off the IPAD

documents uploaded to icloud disappear when I turn off the IPAD,I can see the documents only when icloud is open on the PC

When you turn off any device, it will disconnect from the internet. My sense is that you're not quite explaining what's happening. Do you mean that when you turn it back on again it doesn't automatically reconnect? Do you mean the if it just goes to sleep (as opposed to being powered off) that it switches from WiFi to cellular? Or are you saying that you think that when you turn off the iPad, the router disconnects?
If you're trying to say that the iPad disconnects from WiFi when asleep and switches to cellular, the solution is to keep it plugged into a power source.
Best of luck.

i cant login anywhere as all my passwords are saved in firefox, i cant even access teh firefox preference to get my password, it's so sad

You likley have a corrupted Firefox preference or other support file in your User/Library folder.
Programs load these files from the user account to adjust to user specifications, instead of having multiple copies of the same program on the machine.
So when you reinstalled Firefox, it reinstalled the progrma only and the user support files remained from before.
To prove this point, use System Preferences to create another Admin account and log into it, Firefox should run like a charm.
To remove the Firefox support files from the problem user account your going to need to locate these files and delete them one at a time and try FF again and again.
The first one you shoull try is your FF .plist file located in your User/Library folder.
Clicm on the Finder and use the Go > Go to Folder and paste this
~/Library/Preferences
and press Go.
Now scroll down until you see the Firefox or Mozilla .plist file and Trash it, quit and restart Firefox, it will recreate the preference file with default settings you will have to reset it.
Next run through the list of fixes #1-13 here before proceeding.
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3353
If you need help deleting other FF files, download the free Easy Find from MacUpdate.com and search for anything "Mozilla" or "Firefox" in your User account only and take your chances you hopefully won't delete your password file in the process.
You should have site passwords written down someplace and locked up tightin case you need them, a computer isn't totally safe and reliable.

Each time I start up my MacBook Air a document appears on the desk top -calendarlogging.txt I'm synching my calendar with iCloud. Using Mavericks, but the same file was appearing using Lion. Any thoughts. Thanks

Each time I start up my MacBook Air a text file appears on the desk top (calendarlogging,txt) the file/document contains lines of code. I'm using iCloud to synch my calendar to multiple other devices - iMac, iPad and iPhone. Using Maverick on both my iMac and my MacBook Air. The file was also showing up on the desktop when I was using Lion. Any thoughts?

Hi everyone,
To anyone who might read this, I ended up re-installing with the original install disc and was able to get back on to Mac, though I lost all of the previous data that I had not backed up. Unsure still if it will continue to let me access the HDD in this, but it kind of confirms that installing Lion probably put too much stress on the computer this last year.

Apple recently replaced my broken iPhone 5 with a new one. I backed up the contents of my phone with iCloud.
When setting up my new phone I used an iCloud back up from an earlier date. Now I am missing some of my most recent stuff. How
Do I go back to use the proper iCloud back up to set up my new phone?

Tap settings> general> reset> erase all content and settings...then you'll have a chance to setuo your phone again

I had two numbers for one of my contacts and I deleted one because it's no longer in use. But why does it appear when I type in the name (when starting a new message) with the word "other" next to it?

And how do it delete that "other" number entirely from my phone? I've tried deleteing the contact and adding it in again, but it still appears
Also, on an unrelated note, my phone tends to turn off at 10-7 percent. How can I fix this so it turns off after 1 percent? (the phone doesn't turn on after it turns off by itself unless you charge it)

1. Don't wait until your phone completely discharges before charging the battery. To help with the battery percentage reset your phone. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
2. The phone remembers recently used items in addition to stored items. So the contact you want to delete is presently in the recently used category. If that phone number is not used it will eventually disappear from your phone. Patience IDs the key here.

If i get a new phone will all my pictures, all 1,000 of them in manny different albums upload on my new iPhone the same as they did using iCloud?

i have an iphone and theres a problem with the microphone. ive been scared to go and get a new phone as to i dont want to lose all my photos. i have 3 different albums. i have over 1,000 photos. i try to get the pics from my phone to my laptop in (camera roll and my albums that i have made) but it wont go on to my computer. it says all my phoos are bring backed up to icloud but there is no way to access them so how would i know. please help!

If they are being backed up to iCloud then when you set up the new phone you will be prompted to restore from the iCloud backup.
To be extra safe fix the problem with your computer, at least for the Camera Roll.

I own a new iPad and a MacBook Pro. An Apple store assistant changed my Apple ID on my iPad, and the new ID showed up in the iCloud setting on the iPad. However on my Mac laptop the iCloud still shows my old ID, so there is no synching of documents going on between the iPad and the laptop. What do I do?

On the mac's system preferences: click the iCloud icon, then "sign out" button. After, you can enter the new ID.
